The Ship

by Brian Eno

Originally conceived as a multi-channel sound installation, the legendary producer's twenty-fifth solo album explores themes surrounding the sinking of the Titanic and the First World War. The record features a sprawling, 21-minute ambient title track and prominently utilizes Eno's own resonant vocals, heavily pitched down. It concludes with a breathtaking, deeply atmospheric cover of The Velvet Underground's 'I'm Set Free'.
